Oh Mavis. You know I have such a special place in my heart for Angie. I loved her instantly when Lulu and I came over for a visit. I’m so moved to hear how peacefully she made her transition. Sounds like it was a perfect last day. Thinking of you and your family ~ love, marisa

thank you-i know that she is in a better place- yet selfishly i miss her. all our danes are rescues- over the 35 + years i’ve been doing this i would guestimate that i know the history of about half of the dogs. oreo,our newest girl, is #14-she is the usual “known history” scenario. people usually give up their danes between 9 months and 3 yrs-the “teenage” years-which can sometimes be a trial.
we got angie when she was 9 months-she had undiagnoided thyroid disease and was skin and bones, but soooooo sweet and mischievious. her owners, a couple of young twentysomething year old kids, loved her,but between the health issues, their hollywood single apt, and her energy they just couldn’t cope. and you’re right, most danes are gentle giants-angie especially so. she was the type of girl where you could introduce anyone -baby bird, human toddler, eldery person in a walker, she rose to all occasions with the grace of a diplomat.
i am a better person for knowing all the animals in my life-past and present-especially angie.

My heart goes out to you and your family. This is indeed such a loss for all. It is such a tender time. Perhaps you can take a little comfort in knowing you gave her a life full of love and caring. She was a gentle soul I think.
